Labor Day Box Office: 'The Possession' Takes Number One Spot

The working class have spoken: they chose to celebrate the Labor Day weekend by seeing "The Possession." The horror film about a mysterious box from Jewish folklore that contains a demonic spirit, scared up an estimated $17.7 million from Friday to Sunday. Although final earnings won't be determined until Tuesday, that puts well ahead of the number two movie at the box office: "Lawless." "Possession" earned the second highest Labor Day ticket sales ever, being beaten only by the 2007 remake of "Halloween."
